3 most common causes

1) running out of ram

2) something overheating (CPU or gpu)

3) hard drive failing

 

[RediG7]

1)RAM goes max to 3.7GB
2)CPU max temp 62/GPU max temp 63
3)defragment done every week so how can it fail?

Failing and fragmented are different things. Try shutting down literally everything except bf4 and see if the stutters get any better. 3.7 usage means it could be starting to use "virtual memory" (using your hard drive as extra memory which causes stutters). That'd be my guess based on your additional info

You are pretty close to your memory limit. That might be the cause.
Has this effect not always happened? Of so. You might consider any new things you've installed.
Software, Or drivers. Could be the culprit.

Just googled hdd failure signs. My HDD does none of those.
I've set virtual memory min 8192MB.
Will try shutting down everything except bf4 now.

Technically you don't want it to ever use virtual memory. Try setting it to zero for max

It only happens with bf4.
